* Saving more than her life *

Kyp lifted his lightsaber and sliced down the Yuuzhan Vong, which held a bowl of Jaina's blood in hand. The sight made him queasy and discussed. He hadn't killed the Vong in anger that was for sure. He hadn't noticed the bowl until it hit the ground and splattered all over his Jedi robes.

Zoning back into reality, Kyp spun around to catch an amphistaff just before it whipped his legs out from underneath him.

"Feng I need some help in here…" the Jedi Master called out but there was no need. The Yuuzhan Vong was already slicing the tentacles that held Jaina up. He couldn't spare to glance at her battered and bruised body, but through the Force he felt her slowly slipping away.

No, he had to focus on the matter at hand. Feng had Jaina. She was safe.

"Come on Kyp!" the Yuuzhan Vong yelled from what sounded outside the Embrace of Pain.

"Where do you think your going…" a menacing voice questioned in front of him.

It wasn't like Kyp ever backed down a challenge … it was more like he never backed out of saving the life of the only woman he loved. With that he touched one of the dangling tentacles with the tip of his lightsaber, agitating it just a bit to start swinging around wildly until it grabbed both the Warmaster and Executor. Without another word Kyp ran after Feng.
